I did one track day last September and the brakes were fine. In November I decided to tackle the subframe. While I was there I decided to upgrade to SS lines as well from bimmerworld. I car sat on jacks for the about 8 months and I finally put everything back together this week.
I used the pump method with a help of a friend to bleed the brakes. I did 2 rounds of bleeding and it the pedal feels fine. However once I start driving it feels like I have to press it all the way down to get any sort of braking power. Even then it does not inspire confidence. This is driving in the small streets by the way. Is there air still in the system? When I bled it I didn't see any air bubbles coming out of the tubes anymore.
Could it be the master cylinder or air in the ABS system?
I did have some issues installing the rear soft lines on the subframe, it was leaking during the initial install, but I've tightened it down. There was a small wet spot on by the RTABs however i'm not certain if thats from fluid leaking out or from elsewhere. The threads on the connections are dry though. If there was a slight leak and sucking in air, wouldn't I see air bubbles come out when I'm bleeding it? The reservoir levels looks fine as well, but I only drove around the block a 3-4 times.
